“Do not speak badly of yourself. For the Warrior within hears your words and is lessened by them.” —David Gemmell

There are “warrior” poses in yoga that just by the very nature of the physicality of them, help a person feel empowered, strong, capable and ready to face down the demons.

But here’s the thing: The warrior within needs just as much nurturing and attention as any other part of you. If your inner tapes are playing self-esteem damaging messages, from where will the warrior derive his/her confidence? Those tapes aren’t yours…they were inflicted by others. They are not you.

Consider this: Observe how many times a day you think something diminishing about yourself. Next step: Use those moments as triggers to replace those thoughts with something positive, even if at first it’s hard to believe.

This isn’t easy to do, and you may need help. But your warrior needs you
